Short-form video keeps growing in social media marketing, and Facebook Reels are a great way to put treatment highlights, quick tips, and results in front of a wider audience. With the Social Planner in Aesthetix CRM, you can create and schedule Facebook Reels alongside your Feed posts and Stories, all from one place.
Reels can only be published to Facebook Pages. If you choose a group, the content is shared as a Feed post instead.
Connect your Facebook account in Settings → Integrations and grant the requested permissions to the Facebook account.
Prepare a single video for the Reel. Facebook Reels use one video attachment.
